PLANETFALL

Only a few reviews of what is an excellent album although very derivative of SPACE RITUAL era Hawkwind...full of spacy electronics/synths and extended guitar trips. The CD is long - clocking in at over 76 minutes but certainly not boring and the time passes quickly. There are two tracks over 15 minutes.

Of course the orginality of the compositions has to be questioned but the execution is excellent. These guys know how to play . Andy Thompson (of the Planetmellotron website) features on mellotron and synths although I understand he has now left the band.

Marks are lost for lack of orginality but sound quality and playing is a high standard.

Worthwhile addition to any prog collection.

3.5 stars.
